The author argues that far from being passive and ineffectual during World War I, Benedict XV vigorously pursued a nuanced foreign policy that shaped the history of the papacy through the 20th century"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Benedict XV, Pope, 1854-1922.
